Trip was a passionate though considerate lover, but when he took up with T'Pol something changed. Although still a gentleman who didn't take unfair advantage, her voice, her touch, the heat of her body set him on fire. She turned his blood to white-hot plasma, his heart pounding like a red-lined injector. He doubted that even the fire suppression system for the warp core could cool him off. Afterward, waking up beside her lit his morning like sunrise over the Gulf, and even when he wasn't with her, she could somehow set his mind alight brighter than the Vegas strip.
